Storm2 Remotely Restore BBM Contacts Issues

OK Well I got my BB S2 can it of course comes with BBM 4.7 so I upgrade it to 5.0 so I can get my contacts back just like when I had my S1. However when I attempt to restore my contacts VIA a registered email address it says "Please try again later. Your device is being registered with the BlackBerry Messenger Network. This process should be completed shortly." At first I was like OK I'll try again in like 15 minutes...same thing. 12 Hours later and I'm still getting the same message. VZW had me resend service books, re-register the Host Routing Tables, and do a complete wipe of the device. RIM said they have no idea why this is happening and they've seen it with a few others and all they can suggest is to wait and hope it gets worked out. Do any of you have any idea how I can get this thing to work? I know many of you are way smarter than the reps at RIM and VZW. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried deleting bbm, then reinstalling again? If you have a recent back up on pc, may be try restoring thru dm advanced restore for just bbm contacts. I have had that happen and usually uninstall and reinstall of bbm works fine and fixes that. Posted via BlackBerry device
